Smallworld Electric Office If your utility uses Smallworld GIS, then you are probably interested in GE’s Electric Office suite. Electric Office suite for electric transmission & distribution (EO) is a comprehensive platform that provides geospatial support for the electric utility asset management lifecycle, from planning and design through replacement and refurbishing. It contains the underlying data models, industry applications, and productivity tools required to support the essential utility operations, including engineering design, network analysis, operations management, network asset management, and web-based clients. |

Did you know that GeoSpatial Innovations, Inc. was the first GE Energy Authorized Business Partner to implement Electric Office when Lansing Board of Water and Light went into production in May 2009? And did you know that GeoSpatial Innovations has been a core element of the GE Electric Office development team since September 2007? So now you know. Read further to learn how our toolkits and experience can reduce your effort to implement Electric Office.
Migrating Data to Electric Office GSI uses several processes and proprietary tools to efficiently migrate data from a legacy Smallworld data model structure to Electric Office. One tool compares a source data model to a target data model, creates an Excel spreadsheet documenting the entire data model by object, attribute, enumerator value, and geometries, while it attempts to match objects (and attributes, etc.) of the same name from the source data model. It allows the operator to “force” or override a mapping based on his or her knowledge of the data models or naming conventions. The resulting document provides a framework for Smallworld Case changes in Electric Office. A second tool uses a recursive approach to data model changes common with this type of project, which reduces the effort of reworking migration code and improves accuracy of migrated data. This tool can be configured by non-technical resources using an XML mechanism resulting in documentation of the migration rules. The tool also has the ability to simultaneously configure separate datasets/regions without code development. Using Smallworld 3.3 Applications in 4.x SWAF GSI Application Coupler enables software applications developed in GE Smallworld version 3.3 to function within the GE Smallworld 4.x application framework (SWAF). The Application Coupler reduces the effort to upgrade from Smallworld 3.3 to 4.x, allowing the utility to keep current with Smallworld releases while allowing future applications to be developed in the SWAF environment. The Application Coupler can also be an important tool for GE Electric office implementation projects. GSI licenses the Application Coupler on a project basis.  |
